Can I sue for a dog bite injury?

Generally, yes. Most states hold a dog owner liable for the injuries their dog inflicts if the owner knew or should have known that the dog displayed dangerous tendencies. Some states have laws that hold dog owners strictly liable for the injuries that their dog causes, meaning that even if the owner did not know that their dog was dangerous, they may still be held responsible for their dog's actions. States may have breed-specific laws or laws that impose different kinds of liability depending on the situation or where the dog was at the time of the bite.

Because of the differences in state law, it is important to have professional legal advice when deciding whether to pursue a dog bite injury lawsuit. These variations in law can wholly determine whether you recover for your injuries. Discussing your case with a lawyer is the best way to get the compensation that you deserve.

What do I do if bitten by a dog?

Seek appropriate medical attention. Dog bites can be dangerous and cause infection if not cared for by a professional. The Cleveland Clinic recommends that you clean the wound and see a doctor within 8 hours of being bitten to decrease the chance of infection. The clinic notes that people with diabetes or people that are immunocompromised may have an increased risk of infection and may have an increased need of medical attention.
